CONTAINER FOR HOLDING BANK BILLS.

Application filed January 11, 1922 Serial No. 528,472.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, COLUMBUS HEALY, a citizen of. the United States, residing at Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in-Containers for Holding Bank Bills, of which the following is a full, clear, concise, and exact description, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification.

My invention relates to containers for holding bank bills.

The rincipal object of the invention is to provide a container which will hold one or more bank bills in a convenient manner and will at the same time ermit the denomination of the bill or bill; .to be seen from the outside, without opening the container,

Another object of the'invention is to permit a name or address or advertising matter or other inscription to be put on the container without lessening its efiiciency or without interfering with the view of the contents of the container.

In the accompanying drawings Fig. 1 is a plan view of .abank bill container embodying my present invention;

Figs. 2 and 3 are views of modified forms thereof; and

Fig. 4 is a cross section taken on line 4-4 in F i 1.

Re erring to the drawings, I show in Fig. 1 a container for one or more bank bills comprising. an envelope A made substantially the shape of a bank bill, but slightly larger than the same. In the drawings the size of the bank bill isshown by the inner dotted line 1. The envelope A is preferably made of transparent material so that when a bank bill is in place inside of the envelope it may be seen through the walls of the same. Thus the character of the bill may be noted and to all intents and purposes the bill will be just as if not covered, because both sides may be seen. Preferably one side wall of the envelope is cut away at 2 to permit an end portion of the bill to be more readily grasped to withdraw the bill. Preferably also a flap 3 is hinged to the other side wall of the envelope to open and close the same. A bank bill enclosed in the envelope or container is shown in dotted lines in Fig. 1, and advertising matter on the outside of the envelope or container is indicated by the word Advertising.

In Fig. 2 I show an envelope A whereof one of the walls or both, if desired, is provided with an opaque portion 4. This may may be of any desired size but is preferably a fraction .of the area and in the middle of the side, so as to carry a name or an address or an advertisement or other desired inscription.

In Fig. 3 I show an envelope A having its front side 5 opaque and its rear side 6 transparent. This permits one entire side to be used for a name or an address or other inscription, while the back will be transparent to permit the bill or bills to be seen.

. It will be understood that changes and modifications may be made without departing from the spirit of the invention.

What I claim is: V 1. A package comprising a bill container containing a bill and made at least in part of transparent material to permit the bill to be seen through it and provided with advertising matter associated with said transparent material so that the sight of the bill will attract the eye to the advertising material.

2. A package comprising a bill container containing a bill and made of rectangular shape and of transparent material with an opening and flap at one edge, said container having one side provided with advertisin matter which is especially noticed because 0 the eye being attracted by the bill which may be seen through the transparent mater1a i In witness whereof, I hereunto subscribe my name this 7th day of January, A. D., 1922.

COLUMBUS HEALY.
